How is a vision therapy program structured?

Treatment sessions are typically once or twice weekly, for about 30-60 minutes.

Vision therapy and learning problems

Any child experiencing reading or learning disabilities should have a comprehensive eye exam to test for vision problems. In cases where the learning problem is vision-related, then vision therapy may be a part of the treatment program.

Some of the signs that your child may have a vision problem affecting their ability to learn include:

Not wanting to read or examine their schoolwork closely

Complaints of headaches or their eyes hurting

Lack of attention span during tasks requiring visual attention

Signs of problems with remembering imagery or words

Squinting, tilting their head, or closing one eye during visual tasks
